Saturday Funny: Chili

My co-workers had requested to try chili just once before I moved...so on Friday I granted their wish! I just thought I'd throw in a little humor because although they enjoyed it, just as an American can't understand the deal with potjie....a South African can't understand the importance of chili!

Depths of Motherhood

Today went by in a blur and I breathe a heavy sigh of relief as I lay my weary body in bed. I close my eyes ready to succumb to the much needed sleep ahead of me.

Just then I hear my oldest cry out through the silence of the dark. It’s a nightmare cry. I pinch my eyes as I attempt to push back the contempt rising up within. Couldn’t we just get a couple of hours of sleep? Another cry comes out....this time from the baby as he has now also been woken. I quickly grab him up and head to my eldest’s room silently praying that this is over quickly....

Then the guilt comes. They need me. They need guidance and love as they learn the harshness of this world that I’m already all too aware of. Their pleas are signs of their desire to have me comfort them.

 

Meet Angel and Join a Hop

Hello peeps! I am so excited to be introducing you to Angel today! She is hanging out on my sidebar (again!). I absolutely love working with Angel and am proud to say I am a part of 3 of her weekly hops! This girl likes to party! Since Angel has sponsored me before I thought we would take a chance to really dig into what she is busy with on her blog lately! So without further ado.....Meet Angel and her parties!

Times of Seperation

I have been stressing a lot about this time in which Hubby will be separated from us. I know I shouldn’t stress....so it has brought me to my knees in prayer. God has settled in my heart that this time of waiting is important for us. There is work to be done in our marriage, family, and home. I don’t just mean the packing and putting in notices and all of that! I mean, God’s work, spiritual work, within our souls.

However, God created me as a planner...so that is what I have been doing! It is what I turn to when I feel bombarded with too much to do’s. It has taken me these couple of weeks to allow my mind to sift through the clumps of everything that has been setting their seeds down, but I think I have finally got...a list! Hehe...lists make me happy!
